Max says that he decided to build his wireless Kindleberry after staring at the reflection of the Sun on his laptop screen as he programed outside. Wanting
something better, our industrious hacker ended up mashing together a Kindle Paperwhite with a Raspberry Pi into a wireless terminal.

To build his system, Max connected his Raspberry Pi (running the Raspbian OS) to a power source that can last a whole week, as well as a
Bluetooth-connected Apple keyboard. Meanwhile, the Kindle acts as a Wi-Fi “screen” by way of an SSH session on the Pi.

The whole thing fits into a pouch, and because it uses an e-paper screen, Max can code in the sunniest of weather. The only drawback to the system is a
roughly 200-millisecond delay between when Max makes a keystroke and when it shows on the Kindle.
